Editorial Reviews

"Only solitary men know the full joys of friendship. Others have their family; but to a solitary and an exile his friends are everything."

"Schools are not meant to make boys happy, Cécile, but to teach them to do without happiness."

"To be sure, the Bishop was a little theatrical in his humility, as he had been in his grandeur; but that was his way, Auclair reflected, and, after all, nobody can help his way. If a man admits his mistakes, that is a great deal..."
